Chapter 484

As Ryan and I walked in, Edward set down the papers he was holding and looked up.

I was startled by the way he looked at me, and that strange flutter in my chest came back again.

Ryan frowned, his voice full of concern. “Uncle Ryan, did you catch a cold?”

The butler standing nearby chimed in, “A few days ago, Edward came back and took a few cold showers.”

Edward shot the butler a sharp look, and the butler immediately fell silent, clearly intimidated.

Ryan frowned. “Uncle Ryan, you’ve always been in great shape. Have you been working too hard lately?”

Edward shook his head, his voice a bit hoarse. “Maybe. The doctor said I just need to rest for a couple of days.”

“Then delegate some of your work to others. You don’t have to do everything yourself,” Ryan said, his concern evident.

Edward nodded, taking the advice, then looked over at me. “Ms. Murphy, what brings you here?”

Since he called me out, I kept my composure and replied, “I was having dinner with Ryan, and he brought me along.”

Edward’s expression darkened, and he just spoke to Ryan, ignoring me. “How long are you staying in Shaville?”

“I have to head back to Braylin tomorrow afternoon. Grandpa doesn’t want me running around right now,” Ryan said with a helpless look.

Edward’s tone grew serious. “Now that you’ve decided to start working, you really should focus.”
